short version: layoffs a week ago means more work all around, and this morning, a dump truck backed in to my cube and left an extra load. In the end it's not a big huge thing - but for whatever reason - I couldn't handle it. The net effect is that they took away my direct report, so I get to do his job. They laid off a peer and gave me her team and I have to do her job. I get to do three jobs instead of one. And I'm barely capable of doing mine.
